“Lolita”
Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita” is a story about a middle-aged literary scholar and European expatriate who moves to America and becomes infatuated with a twelve-year-old provincial schoolgirl. His obsession to possess her becomes a destructive mania. The book consistently divides readers into two categories: admiring enthusiasts of its vivid artistry and critics, yet it leaves no one indifferent.
